have been carrying forward for a num-
ber of seasons. The California Viticul-
tural Commission recently sent a repre-.
to lay before leading wine dealers
samples of the products of our vine-
yards, that they might know some
thing Of the flavor, cost of production
and proper selling price of pure CAL
ifornia vintage. As result OF the in
terest created in the remarkable show
ing, a movement is now on foot for
the formation of national organiza-
tion of winemakers,f for concerted action
for the best interests of the industry.
The representative of our Viticultural
Commission received the gem
eral support of the Eastern
wine dealers when they under
stand the character of the work
in which he was engaged, and the
nature of the bill which has been in
troduced in the House of Representa-
tives at his instance. 1t is gradually
becoming known through the United
States that good, pure wines can be
made in this country, and when honest
producers are thoroughly protected
against compounders and manufac.
turers of spurious wines, production
and consumption will both show
the steady increase which fol
lows the establishment OF pup
lie confidence in a home pro-
duct. California wines have been de-
based by eastern compounders, but
now that samples OF pure goods have
been widely distributed among the
trade, and large correspondence
opened between Eastern wine dealers
and the growers or their representa-
tives in California, our home product
will be given fair trial in coming
seasons and the growers have no fears
of the results. 1t is but repltition OF
the experiences of large handlers OF
the raisin product OF the state.
When sytematic work was
first inaugurated by local
houses dealing largely in Califor
mia productions, it was found that
Eastern dealers had hindered the in
PRODUCTION of the California fruit.
They had encouraged the sale OF for
eign product, even when direct inquiry
was made for California raisins. They
made comparisons of the appearance
of the fruit damaging to the California,
but were often compelled to admit su-
perioroity in flavor and size of punches.
| California dealers saw some justice
| in the complaints made, and decided
to remedy all defects in coming sea-
sons, so that the home product should
fairly enter the lists for the
favors of the trade and consumers in
the East. The dealers succeeded in
inducing the growers to systemic the
grading and packing of their product,
and now it is an admitted fact that
every season California produces raj.
sins superior to similar grades OF
Spanish fruit. There is no surplus to
carry from season to season. The
products of certain vineyards are sold
long before they have left the packing
house, and the general demand for
fruit is outstripping the productive
capacity of the vineyards"
